I argue no.
Even though it does not force the buyer to buy a new copy which would obviously help the dev, it does provide funds to the reseller so they can then purchase some other new game. So, in reality its far more helpful than piracy which does not allow any movement of money.
However, I'm sure retailers and developers would rather everyone buy only new games and keep their copy to themselves.
